A high prevalence of anti-Cl00-3 antibodies has been reported in chronic hemodialysis patients. It is, however, unclear whether the results reflect true hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in these patients, since false-positive results have been reported with this antibody assay. In the present study
## Abstract The possible transmission routes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in patients without overt parenteral exposure (sporadic or community acquired form) were examined. Saliva and urine specimens obtained from type C hepatitis patients, whose sera were positive for the HCV genome, were examined b
To assess the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the central nervous system (CNS), HCV-RNA was sought in paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of 21 HIV/HCV-positive patients: HCV-RNA was detected in the serum of 19/21 patients (90.4%), and in the CSF of five of the 19 serum-positiv
Hepatitis G virus(HGV)/GB virus C(GBV-C) is a newly identified virus associated with human hepatitis. The preliminary prevalence studies of HGV infection in Japan were entirely based on the detection of HGV RNA by RT-PCR. However, the selection of the different primer sets in such assay may influenc
